So I was down in the garage getting the trash together and for the second week over the past month I've pondered not putting the trash out. There's just hardly anything in the trash can. My first thought was MAN, I need to get crackin' I'm obviously falling down on the housecleaning job.

But then I went inside.

And it looks okay.

I kind of forgot about it until I started getting ready to go to go to work. As I walked downstairs, I was carrying the following:

As I was cursing my haul, I realized I'd be lugging this exact same load back upstairs when I get home tonight ... with the exception of Fisher's cookies ... okay and honestly maybe my gym bag because ... meh, it's too nice out to be stuck indoors. Since my admission and subsequent guilt over not recycling, I've tried to erase past mistakes and realized that I'm doing a pretty good job. (But I still maybe cursed a little.)

I'm also pretty sure this is exactly how sherpas begin their training.

Well, I look like a bag lady coming into work each day. Purse, work bag, lunch, flipflops for when shoes start killing me....and on and on and on. I should really start bringing my own utensils and I am really bad on the coffee cup and napkin thing. I'll get on it! ;)

Not much garbage is a good thing. Wish I could say the same thing for me. With three kiddos and a cat...one of them is still in diapers (not the cat), we have a boatload of garbage AND recyclables each week. I hate it. Good for you!!

Blessings,Sandy
